Pot luck supper in St, Andrew's
Presbyterian .Church was held by
the Girls' Club last W. ednesday,
December 2, Sitting at a long
table, centred by flickering red
tapers, each lady M turn read a
short blessing, which was at her
place. When all the tempting dish-
es were brought to the table, cal-
orie-counting was soon forgotten
and everyone enjoyed the supper
to the utmost.
A short business meeting was
presided over by president Mrs.
Condon Sutcliffe. All members
favoured catering to a banquet in
January.
Used clothing left over from the
bazaar will be sent to the Salm-

SY DOROTHY swami
The train pulled into the sta-
tion at St, Catharines. I was on
my way home from Niagara Falls
and sitting with my feet up on
the opposite seat when my eyes
spied a sales bill flapping on a
pole, "Auction Sale" it announc-
ed in big, bold, red letter. This
was like waving a red flag in
front of a bull. I charged down
the aisle of the train, lugging my
weekend bag, and alighted on
that station platform just as the
conductor gave the signal for the
train to proceed.
CNR train crews across Cana-
da are getting used to the unex-
pected decisions this Vagabond
makes. When the conductor saw
my jump he merely shrugged his
shoulders and climbed aboard the
slowly moving train.
Then I stood in a fall drizzle,
wondering which way to turn
next. St. Catharines is a pretty
city, one hundred miles or less
from Toronto, that mushroomed
during the war years, growing a-
way from the older and more set-
tled streets in the central part of
town, I knew nothing More about
it than what I could see from a
train window, but I had a tongue
in my head and a, few coins Still
left in my purse after my delight-
ful weekend at the Falls. I realiz-
ed I had time only to grab a bite
to eat before the sale was slated
to commence,
Next to trains, taxis, hi my es-.
timation, are God's gift to human-
ity, When I get these sudden
brain waves and maroon myself
in strange places, a taxi driver
can always find me accommoda-
tion in attractive quarters and, in
this case the whereabouts of an
auction sale.
We polled up in front o fa run-
down, late Victorian period-type
house whose gingerbread trim-
ming was hanging in broken dis-
array from its eaves, Paint peeled
from the graying clapboard and
in the overgrown garden weeds
flourished.
"The old gent was 97 when. he
died but as independent as a pig
on ice. Nobody could do nothire
for him. He just liked mein' a-
lone", the driver said, as I in-
structed him to come back for
me at 4 p.m.
There, bared for a critical pub-
lic to comment, were the living
habits of old, shall I call him,
Jeremiah Jones. The bedding was
clean but had seen better days.
China was broken and cracked,
and pots and pans were blackened
by the coal fire he struggled with
in the shadow of thousands of
modern appliances in the homes
that surrounded him. The furni-
ture to be auctioned off to the
highest bidder was in deplorable
state of dilapidation.
I had a moment of heartache
for old Jeremiah. My imagination
pictured the better days he had
known in the gay nineties, with
his family, all deceased before
him, rollicking around the then
new marble-topped table and jum-
ping up and down on the horse-
hair upholstered sofa.
It was the sofa that caught my
eye. For years it had obviously
been stored in the chicken coop.
Its springs hung from its innards
and the once expensive upholster-
ing (a sign of affluence in Vic-
toria's day) was a bleached tan.
Feathers and filth clung to the
beautiful handcarving on the back
of the settee.
I watched the women of the
neighbourhood pawing over the
quilts and tapping the saucers for
cracks. I heard them bid fantas-
tic prices for the dirty pots and
pans, but when it came to the
sofa, my weak little (and almost
ashamed) bid of "25c" won the
prize for me. Everyone at the
sale looked at me as though I was
an escapee from some asylum.
"What on earth could anyone
want with such a relic?" you
could almost hear them silently
asking themselves.
The taxi driver was of the same
opinion when he arrived. I was
standing over a nice gentleman
who had volunteered to help af-
ter he saw me struggling with a
borrowed sorew driver, trying to
remove the back from the sofa. I
had a plan for Jeremiah's old
glory hut you'd never guess it
from the expression on the faces
of the crew in the CNR express
office when the taxi driver and I
lugged the old wreck into their
domain.
Today it is the conversation
piece of my abode. Scraped, fumi-
gated, cutdown, painted with
white and gold and in its new
dress of white upholstery SWUM it is a perfect headboard for a
vagabond's bed.
Bless Jeremiah for being so
stubborn and insisting on living
alone among his treasurers trtd.
I caught up with this sale. I am
sure he woudn't approve of my
having painted a "real walnut
carving" but I guess now, the only
ones missing its old splendour are,
"them chickens"?
